How Dogs Learn

• Dogs learn in one of two ways They learn by
  associating an emotion with an experience. An
  experience can be positive, negative or neutral,
  and this emotional effect predicts how well they
  react to that same experience next time around.
• Dogs also learn through their actions getting
  reinforced. Reinforcement can be either positive
  (he is rewarded) or negative (he is punished)
• Very much like children, huh? Except for one key
  difference Dogs live in the now, so actions
  need to be reinforced immediately (within
  seconds) after they happen. So be careful about
  what reinforcement you apply, and when.

Dogs Need to Chew

• Dogs need to chew and if you dont provide
  appropriate and enticing options for your dog, it
  will find something else to chew on.
• By putting away items you dont want your dog to
  chew and supervising and re-directing
  inappropriate chewing to the options youve
  provided, you can effectively fixate your dog on
  its own chew toys and save yourself a lot of
  damage and frustration.
• By providing your dog with its own toy box, your
  dog will know where to go when it wants
  something to chew.

Dogs Need Socialization

• A dog thats not thoroughly socialized before
  sixteen weeks of age is more likely to experience
  a fear reaction to anything new after the
  socialization period is over.
• Socialization means exposing your dog to
  everything it may come in contact with throughout
  its life before its brain is fully developed,
  which occurs at around sixteen weeks of age.
• This includes, but is not limited to adults,
  children, men and women of different sizes,
  shapes and colors, different sizes, breeds and
  colors of friendly and healthy dogs,
  accessories, glasses, beards, canes, wheel
  chairs, sights, sounds, smells, new
  environments, etc.

Aggression Prevention

• Assertive Challenges Resource Control
• Ignore Demands If you dont follow, your dog
  cant lead.
• Everything must be Earned Control the resources
  by requiring your dog to earn everything of
  value.
• Leave It
• Your dog learns to happily remove itself from
  whatever its focused on
• when it hears the leave it cue preventing
  possessive aggression.
• Drop It and Take It
• Your dog learns to happily drop any item on cue
  preventing possessive
• aggression.
• Putting special treats in your dogs food bowl
  while its eating
• Putting special treats in your dogs food bowl
  while its eating teaches your dog that people
  approaching its food bowl are giving instead of
  taking away. Because of this your dog prefers you
  in, instead of out of its food bowl, preventing
  food bowl aggression.

Training Treats

• Training treats are a temporary training tool to
  be used properly then put away. Remember, any
  tool is only as good as the person using it.
• Well use treats to create and polish behaviours
  and put behaviours on cue, then fade the
  training treats away replacing them with other
  valued rewards such as attention, praise, walks,
  car rides, games, etc.
• Use properly, food rewards, also called training
  treats, serve the following purposes
• to motivate your dog to think and make choices
• to lure your dogs body preventing the need for
  physical manipulation
• to reinforce the desired behaviour making it more
  likely your dog will repeat the behaviour and
  understand the meaning of the cue

• Once your dog understands each cue and signal
  well take
• the following steps to fade the treats/rewards
• First well begin by asking for more responses
  for each treat reward, requiring the dog to work
  harder for its rewards. Well reinforce the
  behaviour intermittently meaning the dog knows
  the treat is coming it just doesnt know when.
  The dog keeps offering the behaviour in
  anticipation of the eventual reward. Like
• the slot machine, the secret to rewarding
  intermittently is to only reward the dog often
  enough to keep it playing your game.
• Next, well remove the treats from our body so
  our dogs response doesnt depend on the
  presence of food.
• Then well gradually replace the food with other
  real life rewards that are valuable to your dog,
  things it will receive daily anyway such as
  meals, walks, car rides, games, toys, safe
  bones, cuddle time, attention, off leash play
  and play with doggy friends.
